Pixlr Removing Image Background

[@amuse9880]

The fact that you specified saving as PNG has saved me such a big headache....thank you!!

[@RawFitChris]

To those who have commented negatively: her explanation is very helpful and welcome to most of us who are not regularly doing photo editing; but just once in a while. It absolutely helps to review the basic functions that are related to the task.

[@scotiawade229]

Thank you very much. Usually the video does not tell you what buttons to click. You did a great job. You explained everything clearly.

[@Voxcu]

A useful and competent explanation, so I tried it and it turned out that everything works fine. Special thanks to the author for such useful content.

[@robinwalthour3038]

Great demo! This is exactly what I have been searching for to remove a background in a photo. I can't want to try it! Thank You!

[@davidmadisontheguardian]

I just watched another video about Pixlr Editor; and that person spoke about the Magic Wand. There is an option to select CONTIGUOUS. When this is on... the pixels of a certain color are removed UNTIL they meet a border of another color. This would allow you to select the green; without it jumping inside the outside frame of the girl... as long as there isn't green in her border. Another way to help with that is just to decrease the tolerance. If you mess up; simply hit 'CONTROL Z'. Do this back and forth until you get it pretty much how you want it. THEN you can get the small bits by touching it up with zoom and the removal tool you were using. Cheers!

You are a great teacher! thank you so much for doing this tutorial...I just made my first transparent image...so proud of myself:)

[@reeniebell871]

Thank you so much. I have often tried using these tools and became frustrated and left it. Now thanks to your video I can do it!! Awesome.

[@phillco82]

Finally, something useful and easy to understand...Thanks!

[@takjensen]

The tip about tolerance helped a lot! Thanks.

[@DeanHall1]

When she says "you can just delete", she's talking about hitting the "delete" button on your keyboard. It worked for me :)

[@tiozao8620]

You have just saved my life! THANK YOU! Cheers from Brazil :D

[@MichaelFergusonVideos]

Thanks! Unlocking the layer was the key for me as I am used to GIMP editor and they are similar in many ways but that lock layer thing :)

[@payalmazumdar356]

Hey thanks!! I am new to this so your detailed instructions helped a lot!!

[@I_Am_Human_Being]

MAM I AM SORRY I AM SHOUTING BUT I NEED TO MAKE MYSELF HEARD. MAM YOU ARE A GODDESS TO ME! I SEARCHED AND SEARCHED BUT COULDN'T FIND THE MEANING OF ANTI-ALIAS AND CONTIGUOUS WHICH YOU SO LUCIDLY EXPLAINED IN THIS VIDEO. THANKS A MILLION AND GOD BLESS YOU!

[@jaceklewinski]

Thank You for the guide. Very good and helpful.

[@GlaXelL]

Thank you for speeding up a process that would've taken 30 minutes, but it only took 2 minutes with this video. #StillWorksIn2018

[@JamesJLatham]

gmdmml you beauty!!!! I've been trying to work this out for ages. thank you.

[@RmX.]

I would remove that background completely in 5seconds with magic wand... Just set tolerance correctly.

[@minetubegaming2069]

+RmX how

[@RmX.]

MineTube Gaming The background is only in 1 color(green) Then the magic wand is the easiest way to remove it. Try it with different tolerance till all the green background is selected.

[@minetubegaming2069]

ok thx

[@Kellyflack77]

A huge help. Thank you so much!

[@e.eiyayi2381]

you are awesome, you just made my day!

[@CAMELEON1721]

Hello there , Because normally a rubber band can affect the image to remove the background, so I now do differently and faster. I note wand background, open the padlock to add a layer, and then I set the eraser on a 70 or 100 size, enlarges the image to the middle of the right side of the editor and blurs the background without damaging the object that is to be no background. Faster job :)

[@iPadPaint]

I got Super PhotoCut from Appstore. It achieved better effect to Instanly Remove Images Background. only 30 seconds is required to remove background. Really super.

[@katedorson]

Thanks a lot for a nice tutorial!!

[@AravahStar]

This is exactly what I needed - thank you!

[@xi3mmariefferdian480]

You are a great person!!!

[@JoshSauberman]

When you select all that green area with the magic wand and then delete it, how are you actually deleting it? Are you hitting the delete button? And how does it become transparent?

[@theselenashow1]

this explained a lot but it took soo much time your explaining the basic stuff as when you just need to show us how to remove the background not what every single thing in pixlr is

[@miakostas6278]

Actually I prefered her describing things a long the way. I mean the woman is a teacher, what do you expect?

[@Aristobanana]

shut up is doing the good way long video more cool and save life

[@emalinwhda8483]

[@Xstar7]

Thanks so much :)

[@beckyeisenhuth497]

I followed this step by step but when I save it to my computer and try to pull it up again it keeps coming up with a data base failure. Also, tried to save it to my desktop and it's ALL white. something is not quite right. Must have missed something but I went over it twice. *sigh*

[@m3tro874]

Lol you probs saved it as JPEG ;)

[@xjpfitness250]

okay, so how do you remove the image background? That all im here for, im sure most people already know how to navigate their way through the tool bar.

[@jacksonbodra6450]

how to set a background image or change my background and set another image?

[@rogerdeleon7663]

Control D on a PC also deselects the wand tool.

[@pssmrteo]

Did pixlr change their interface? Seems so different from what's on the video. Also, what software did you use to draw those on screen arrows?

[@SSGodWelder]

So easily to explain, given us a website to manually remove the back ground

[@GlenDonohue]

ok removing background the lock is missing it use to be there but its gone do you know how to get it back

[@mrjerry786]

Thanks brother

[@ericcarlson5068]

good video

[@jenniferloop]

Amazing, Tutorial, i love pixlr, can you also check toolpic editor and throw some tutorialk on that which will really help me and many user, because toolpic is same like pixlr but it has pixlr paid feature in free version

[@killawolfchill]

ctrl c and then go to another picture and press ctrl v make sure you hold it down when clicking the two together

[@AirSync]

thanks lot i needed this

[@55Orlando1]

I wanted to get rid of the background of an image but there are so many spots that even with the wand its impossible to get rid of all the little pockets of background. The background is broken up by the image in front (which is a sparkler). I don't know if there's a way to select of all one color and delete it all together? The background is all black so if there was a way I could select all the black it would solve my problem. I wish I could figure out a way.

[@55Orlando1]

If I select the white of the sparkler and then invert the selection it allows me to get rid of all the surrounding black background. Its not perfect but looks a lot better.

[@swozzzz]

when i unlock the layer its not making brush transparent!!! pls help

[@ArsenalEgg]

Thanks so much

[@AnimusZen]

[@GManWrites]

+Freespirit When you save it "Save as a png file and it will be transparent.

[@freespirit.8958]

[@GManWrites]

Freespirit Your welcome. If you are Canadian you are probably wondering about the penguin because they are from the Arctic and not Canada. Well the penguin is the logo of Linux computer operating system and I am Canadian so" Linux Canadian penguin".
